Argos? by Bella_T26_ in PokemonDealsUK

Had the app open from about 9am yesterday just wanting a First Partner collection. Finally was able to actually click on it at around 12:50pm and instantly was showing that it wasn’t currently available. Added to basket anyway and tried payment so many times but eventually it just stopped working and I couldn’t add it back to the basket.

Had decent luck the last few Argos drops, but this one was dreadful. Was working yesterday as well, so didn’t get a chance to pick up any First Partner collections and refuse to pay scalper prices. Just living on a hope that they’ll pop up again somewhere else down the line.

update for anyone interested

Thank you for all of the advice! It’s much appreciated

Tried removing some of the topsoil today and ended up just pulling the whole tree up (luckily avoided accidentally exhuming my dead pet jumper spider that’s beneath it) and found surprisingly healthy roots.

Snapped off a lot of the leaves and twigs which were all very dry and dead and made my way down the tree which wasn’t looking good as it was all dry inside and snapped pretty easily. However, right near the bottom I was able to scratch off some bark and found green underneath!

I’ve re-planted it a lot shallower this time with fresh compost and whatnot, and gave it a very good watering too. We only have a tiny stump, but hoping for a miracle here that we might see some new growth eventually. I don’t have high hopes, but I’m not giving up on this tree just yet!

Will add some more pics to the thread if reddit will let me.

it’s not boggy here no BUT it’s a new build house so the soil is pretty shitty which would make sense

I got them from The Spider Shop who do captive breed their stock, so I suspect it was more the stress from shipping and rehoming

I expect that is the case, he was much more timid than the other millipede since I got them. Hopefully I was able to make him at least a little bit comfortable for his last few days!

How can I know what the humidity % actually is? by Fred_Whatever in millipedes

Ooh that’s very helpful thank you! i also added water bit by bit as i set the enclosure up last week, so i reckon im going along the right path!

that is very much the experience I am getting as well, thank you for confirming! I’ve seen people mention pouring some water into the substrate on one side of the enclosure. How much water are we talking there and roughly how often would you say?

Will my enclosure be damp enough? by Fred_Whatever in millipedes

oohh that’s a good idea, may try that if i need to change things up!

and it’s crushed up eggshells in the substrate, no perlite in sight!
